Description : turn based strategy war game
Saw some people talking about it on launchpad, was an moderately straight
forward java package (had to use debian libraries and delete third party jars)
have a working package [1] and finishing up some cleaning up of it. I won't
package the server until derby is packaged (there is an ongoing ITP on that
library updated a couple days ago), just the game and client.
It's a fun game, similar in style to Axis and Allies ( (C) and (TM) Wizards of
the Coast/Hasbro), but with many additional player contributed maps and tools
to build your own games/maps (and distribute them or find collections of other
maps)
Also allows for semi-centralized "ladder" play for free over the internet.
